„Really lovely, great for kids! My daughter (12) celebrated her birthday here and loved it. The briefing was great and the staff answered all the children's questions — and even though the kids didn't crack the room, they had a blast!“

„A really lovely Sunday afternoon. We were in the circus wagon with two kids (11/14). The puzzles were great and gave us just the right sense of challenge — and that we could master them.“

Frequently Asked Questions

Children's birthday — good to know

What age is a children's birthday party suitable for?+
We recommend the adapted versions from about age 10.
Which rooms can children play?+
For children and teens there are adapted versions of Circus Mortale and The Scourge of Mankind.
How much does the children's birthday cost?+
For five or more minors, the game costs €22 per person.
Does an adult have to play along?+
The right level of supervision depends on the age and the group. For younger children, an accompanying adult makes sense.
Who looks after the children during the game?+
An experienced game master, at all times. They see and hear the children throughout the entire game via camera and audio, talk to them through a microphone and give hints or step in whenever something gets stuck. So the children are never really on their own — even though they have the room all to themselves.
Do parents need to be there during the game?+
No — in our experience the children do wonderfully on their own while our game master looks after them the whole time. Parents can head off for a relaxed coffee in the meantime: there are plenty of cafés right nearby, and the Leo-Amann-Park is directly opposite for a sit-down. Afterwards it's also a great spot to enjoy some cake together or plan the rest of the party.
How long does the birthday party last?+
The game lasts 60 minutes. With the briefing and wrap-up, plan for around 90 minutes.
Is there food or a birthday table?+
The escape room game is the centrepiece. Food, cake or a party afterwards is best planned separately, outside the playing time.
Can I create invitation cards?+
Yes — further up on this page you can create personalised invitation cards and victory certificates as a PDF or download the blank templates directly.
